Say please? Thank you...

What is the computer language that makes you say please? I used to know
this. I might recognize it if I saw the name. A fellow LUG member
suggested I look at http://sk.nvg.org/lang but nothing seemed obvious.

My mistake was that I started reading the FAQ
while drinking coffee...

Classic case of C|N>K

Whups. We should probably warn people about that. Me, I cautiously set
aside any drinks and dangerous objects (err, well - except my mind) before
opening any mail prefixed with [TAG]; I know this bunch.

It is amusing, isn't it.
I remember it from way back. I do have
to thank Rick Moen for resurrecting it.

You are really serious about this 'Making Linux a little more fun' thing,aren't you?
Thank God for that.

We have to be, Predrag, otherwise we'd be YAMP (Yet Another Man
Page).

[grin] That's the LG to a tee. 'Fun' isn't our middle name - it would
involve all sorts of boring paperwork, people would ask pointed questions
about changes in marriage status, and applying to courts in various
countries would be a real hassle - but we do enjoy ourselves, usually.

It made it worse, actually - Charlie's eye passed right through St.
Augustine, from what I'm told - but my anchors held (I had a friend put
out a third one; I normally ride to two anchors, but have eight on
board.)

The winds were supposedly in the 70+ knot range (Category 1 hurricane)
with 6' seas in the Matanzas river, where I'm actually anchored. The
docks at the nearby city marina took a real pasting, but everything and
everybody seems to be OK.

WHEW, big-time. When Charlie got up to 145mph, and shifted course to
pass dead over St. Augustine, I was not a happy camper.

We're glad to hear that the boat is still in one piece. Our thoughts are
with those who weren't quite so fortunate. At least it sounds like it
went a little better than Andrew in 1992.

Yeah. Nineteen dead so far (no final count yet), lots of people hurt, at
least $11B worth of property damage (again, not final figure); 300,000
people still without electricity; it was a rough one.

Quote from CNN:

...............

Despite the damage, Florida Lt. Gov. Toni Jennings said that her state
was better prepared for Charley's onslaught than it had been in 1992,
when Hurricane Andrew, a Category 5 storm with winds topping 155 mph,
crushed the southern tip of the state from east to west.

"Where we are today is about where we were two weeks after Andrew,"
Jennings said.

...............

At this point you can hit up Google for all the gory details and then
some; in addition to early storms it's been a heavy season so far too.

My boat took some damage... from do-gooders without a clue - none from
the hurricane. Nothing major; I spent last night on a tilt (50 degrees
or so at 4 a.m. - low tide) and had to get her off the shoal this
morning, then spent most of today grappling for my anchors (one line
chafed through, and the idiots^Whelpful folks who moved her managed to
lose a 45-lb. anchor and 300' of chain over the side.) Haven't found
them yet - but hooked onto a big Fisherman-type anchor that somebody
else lost here during the last few years, so that's what I'll be using
temporarily.
